I prefer Gold, and then Crystal.
Gold was the one I was given, my brother got stuck with Silver. I think we actually had a fight over who would get what, and I'm glad my mom told me to suck it up and take the Gold, because I loved Ho-oh and it also had better exclusives. And then Crystal is a close close close second, like, I loved that game. I was given it as a birthday present because my brother stole my gold game and then lost it down one of the vents in our trailer, and crystal gave me my second love. Suicune~
I can't stand Silver because it was what my brother played, and I dislike my brother.
Also Lugia is ugly to me.
I am biased.
Which is funny because I'm in love with water pokemon, but I hated it.
